We stayed for an off season weekend which was quiet and relaxing. The cottage itself very clean, fireplace burner needs replacing and would have been excellent because of the chilly weather. Full kitchen, remember to bring not only food, you need to bring toilet paper, dish cloths, dish soap. Luckily there are stores nearby. Loads of hot water. The staff on site very helpful and accommodating upon our arrival. In summer season, definitely a lovely spot so close to the beach and port.

Pictures and description was deceiving. Air conditioning didn’t work, no bedding, no pillows, no toilet paper, no rags to wash dishes, microwave didn’t work, outside property was a mess nothing like the pictures, no garbage bags, not enough hot water for a short shower.

Great location. Very close to the beach. A 5 minute drive but very walkable. Great place to watch the sunset right up the street. A lovely walking trail across from the property. Cottage was cozy, property was nice. Tom was awesome. Very helpful and friendly.

For 3 days the price was okay, however the website said there is a fridge, dishwasher, and WIFI with the ability to sign in to my Netflix account. The fridge, wifi and dishwasher was not working day 1, the manager was able to fix the wifi but the fridge was replaced a day later so lots of food was dethawed and warm. The dishwasher was never fixed. The smell in the cottage was horrible like spoiled eggs, my husband said it smelt like sex and cigarettes... The BBQ we did not use because it looked like it had rat feces in it. There was underwear and and Empty can of monster in the single bed room dresser day 1.... It did not feel clean. There was a Brocken trampoline .... Such a downer for the kids why even have it there... Tom was kind and tried his best but the expectation is that the cottage is well maintained, that's what I paid for!

I was looking for a place to stay for 1 night with the kids. We rented cottage #2. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, adorable and affordable. Great location right across from the water. The cottage had everything we needed. The man running the place was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. The kids loved it and we will definitely go here again ❤️

Tom was wonderful. He made our vacation very enjoyable by being available to us when we needed him. He works hard to keep customers happy. We witnessed it with other vacationers as well. The cabins are pretty but could use some updating. Couch was not useable but chair and beds were comfortable.

Unbeatable location across from North Shore Park. Just a few steps to the harbor and excellent sunset-watching location. It worked well for our purposes. Our cottage was very basic, pretty old, but clean. A coat of paint wouldn't hurt. The entire property is for sale, which was a little disconcerting. Tom, the property manager, was very responsive.

I love this cottage park, not my first stay. Minor problem with some (very small amount) of mold in my bedroom. Not noticeable to anyone else but I am allergic so it did make it hard for me to sleep. Wifi is spotty and cell phone signal is poor. Other than that the cottage was lovely. Nice space with lots of room for everyone. Well located with a splash pad and park across the street, fishing very close, and a beach a short walk away. Would still stay again but will bring my air filter with me.

North Shore Cottages

We had a very pleasant stay at North Shore Cottages. The accommodations are very basic and rustic, but everything was in working order and clean. The location is great for families, it's directly across the street from a splash pad, playground and walking trails, and a beach is a couple minutes away. My older kids enjoyed a lot of freedom exploring on their own. It would be great for biking too. Communication with the owner was always polite and pleasant. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how quiet the area was at night. Overall, I recommend this stay, especially for families looking for a simple and quiet get away at a reasonable price. I would also strongly recommend to bring your own bedding and towels. We will be back!

Good location. North Shore Cottages is in close proximity to walk to Harbour Marina park/Beach in Port Elgin. Central spot for driving to Southampton or Sauble Beach. You can pay the same amount of money and stay at the Quality Inn down the road in South Hampton and have a clean spacious room, without cigarette butts in the window frame, somebody else’s garbage in your room, and management that actually know you’re arriving when you’re supposed to. The plus side - great location, quiet, great shower, pressure and hot water as long as you don’t mind the stains and mildew in the bottom of the shower stall Great TV and cable Internet works great even though the Wi-Fi password did not work at all Air conditioning works like a champ Cute, gas fireplace I suppose if it gets cold Would I stay there again? Only if I was desperate

We had cabin 5, it was great that we had the firepit right outside.. I’m not sure if any other cabins had them. Cabin 4 beside us joined in for the fires as well, it was great to meet new people! Cabin 5 is 2 bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twins in the other. You also have a pull out couch. You NEED to remember sheets/blankets/pillows. As well as all other necessities etc. toilet paper, paper towel, towels for bathing/kitchen, dish soap, garbage bags.. There were a few pots/pans and dishes/utensils. Overall was a good stay, a quick walk to Port Elgin Main Beach, we drove to Sauble Beach (20 mins away).
